I have a beams 98 celica but am thinkin of tradin it in for a 99 VVTLi celica with a trd bodykit... what you guys think... Am I mad

thanks for that Consynx. I'll give it another go some of the days

i've done that bit an removed the bolt that holds it to the car but it ain't comin out an I don't want to be too rough incase I make complete bits of something as I'm prone to doin

can't spell either can I

so sorry. forgot that it's mostly ameraicans on here, you guys call it the antenna. we call it the ariel over here!!

Anyone know how to take out the ariel, the whole motor an all.. mine has packed it in I think . want to take it out to see if I can fix it or get a second hand one. I have taken off the bolt that holds the whole lot to the body of the car but it don't seem to want to come out ... any help or diagrams or pics would be great
Thanks

is it just a straight pipe swap or is there's any sensors down there that could screw things up

does it make much of a horsepower difference

Anyone ever fit one of these.. are they hard fit.. did they make a difference... is the exhust sytem on a beams celica the same as an ordonary celica....

This is in the how do article. was just wondering where the fuses are to do this. anyone any diagrams on which fuses are which. The Hazard fuse, the EFI fuse, and the ECU fuse. Thanks

I wasnt to buy a HKS super powerflow induction kit part number 1504-ST049. It's for a beams vvti celica. Only one I can seem to get for that model. I live in Ireland so include posting in your price.
Thanks

Just wondered if anyone here installed a HKS super powerflow induction kit in their 3sge beams celica

ya i see what you mean about the heat soak. and its in a place where you can't really put a heat shield.. any websites where they sell that kit

Anyone know if there's anyone's available for this engine

seems to be a rare one alright

I have a beams red top vvti celica. I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about them, like was there many put in celica's, 0-60 times, top speed, things like that
Thanks

thanks for the reply guys @ ben and veilside...are they autopart type place or specialise in Toyotas..Place here in Ireland they have a place in England too called Japparts, they said they can get it no bother in 3 weeks.They couldn't understand what the Toyota garage was at.. The garage has said it will be in on monday so if not I'll be gettin contact with every number I have on it.. it's gone beyond a joke at this stage
Thanks

don't know at all....the garage is saying that the jap models to the european ones are different which is fair enough but you'd imagine that at the jap ones are the same..either way I still don't have a car

Hello there
My celica has been parked up for the last five weeks cause the front right brake caliper is siezed on it an my local Toyota garage is or was suppoed to be getting the part for it. they keep tellin me it will be in next week an it never is so I'm giving up hope of gettin it off them.They are sayin it's different to the normal jap import an that it's on backorder in Japan I live in Ireland and have a Jap imported Beams Red top vvti Celica.ihave the engine and chassis number so if anybody out there has one or knows of a place where I can get a front right brake caliper I would be so grateful.

Engine ST202-BLMVF
Chassis ST202-0131720

Thanks in advance
Gerry

The ariel motor Hhas packed up in the car an now I can't get any radio staions cause the ariel won't go up now which I have to say is no harm cause it's abit on the big ugly side so I was wondering if there was any other way of gettin a signal for the radio like any other smaller ariels . Just wondered if any of you tried something different
Thanks
